But it still is the largest growing mobile operating system ever. The growth is around 140% compared to nearest rival Android which stands at 91.5% . Windows Phone started 3 years Android started hitting the market.

Android handsets might be Linux based in that sense. But I wouldn’t call it a Linux OS like Meego, Debian, etc, which is a good thing, imho. Android’s security model would give real GNU/Linux a bad name if they were lumped together.
